If you want work done from local, hard working, well priced professionals then look no further. I was totally let down by another local firm and Plumbob helped pick up the peices and moved mountains to resolve the issues. Especially helpful team and not a single negative to list.

The work was done promptly and smoothly, with a full explanation of what they were doing throughout. They were unfailingly polite, cleaned up after themselves and left my home as tidy as it was when they came in. They do really good work for high
